Deborah and Barak triumphantly sing the story of victory over King Jabin. What glorious words as they describe how victory was accomplished by God through Deborah, Barak, the army that was with them, and Jael. They tell the story, giving God the glory: "LORD, when you went out from Seir... the earth trembled, and the heavens poured, the clouds indeed poured water. The mountains quaked before the Lord, the One of Sinai, before the LORD, the God of Israel."
How often do we tell of God's might deeds worked for us and in us and through us? We share the story of God with us and for us with as much enthusiasm as Deborah and Barak did after this victory. The LORD saved the people who had turned away from them. They had turned their backs on them. They called on Him for help. Once again, he saved them and they rejoiced! The story is told!
Tell the story of your salvation today... I will keep challenging you to do this, so may as well start. We don't need training on how to do this. We need practice. We just need to start telling the story of how God impacts our lives on our daily basis. We need to share with others the importance of having Jesus in our lives. We need to let others know how Jesus saved us.
The chapter ends with a prayer: "So perish all your enemies, O LORD! But may your friends be like the sun as it rises in its might." May your light so shine as the rising of the sun...
And the land had rest forty years. Amen!
